It has been several years since I have written about Friendly Chapel Baptist Church located just out of Fallston, at 738 Sugar Hill Road. I guess I’ve waited so long because I have their singings listed in this column nearly every month and there’s no doubt that at 6:30 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month – except December – Ellen Mull, the prime mover behind these singings, will have a group or two in concert. If you’ve never been before you’ve missed some delightful evenings of “down to earth” gospel music. The church is well named because you are always treated in a warm, friendly way.

All of the members, including Pastor Norris Willis, support these singings and they don’t mind letting you know it by the “amen’s, smiles, applause and other outward expressions of support.” I like that! If you’re having a good time in the Lord, let people know it – and maybe they’ll get caught up and have a good time, too. By the way, Friendly Chapel has been doing this since 1954!

At 6:30 p.m. Sunday you can hear the Spencer Mountain Quintet and His Glory Quartet. For more information, call Mull at 704-538-7680.
